A huge thank you and fond farewell to the teachers and staff who are leaving Trinity at the end of this school year: Mrs. Cil Stock, Mrs. Judi Fejfar, Ms. Julia Palmer, and Senora Kim Tropp. We are grateful for the dedication to our school and our students that they have shown over their time at Trinity. May God bless them in their next ventures!

The Guidance Office will begin sending transcripts on Tuesday, June 14, to the colleges that seniors indicated as the ones they will attend.

Any report cards not picked up by Tuesday, June 21, 2022, will be mailed home.

Any student who failed a core class--theology, English, social studies, math, science--for the school year should have received information about Trinity's summer school credit recovery program. Summer school runs from June 15 through July 21. There is one mandatory, in-person session on Wednesday, June 15, at 8:30 a.m. in the school library.

Take part in our Capital Campaign in an affordable, meaningful way! Honor Trinity High School alumni, a family, a loved one, or even a special teacher by dedicating a seat in our new auditorium. An engraved nameplate on the seat will display the dedication. Donors may also consider purchasing an entire row. Reach out to Mr. Jordan Hill, Director of Advancement, with questions. Reserve your spot here.

We were thrilled to welcome Bishop Ronald Gainer, Board members, Capital Campaign Cabinet members, government representatives, faculty, and other Trinity supporters for our groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, June 9.

More than $5.5 million dollars of work has begun! This summer we are installing a turf field, expanding our practice field with top soil from COBO Field, replacing the portion of the facade outside the busport, installing new gym bleachers, refreshing the gym, and renovating the auditorium. It is through many donations and many generous lovers of Trinity that we are able to accomplish this.

Thank you to Sen. Mike Regan, Rep. Delozier, and Rep. Rothman for attending the groundbreaking ceremony. A special thank you to Sen. Regan for delivering $250,000 in state funds for our projects.

Pennsylvania State Law requires all students to have a second dose of the Meningococcal vaccine prior to entry into grade 12. (One dose was required for grade 7, and the second dose is required for grade 12.) Please review your student's immunization records and have your primary care provider take appropriate action. Please send a copy of your student's updated immunization record to the Main Office, Attn: "School Nurse."

Trinity High School follows the West Shore School District's modified health program, which requires a 9^th grade physical examination, including a record of immunizations. This exam must be dated after September 1 of the previous school year (2021-2022). Students who saw their healthcare provider after September 1, 2021, may send a copy of that physical exam, including immunizations, to Trinity. Otherwise, return this form to Trinity ASAP. Please contact the school nurse at thsnurse@thsrocks.us with any questions. Please note that this physical is different from the sports physical.
